No 270506, 1989 Annual Meeting, July 30-August 2, Baton Rouge, Louisiana from American Agricultural Economics Association (New Name 2008: Agricultural and Applied Economics Association)

Abstract: Five different specifications of a pollution control restriction are analyzed for their comparative effects on input use, output, and profits. Because of the different effects, interest groups are likely to pressure politicians for their preferred outcomes. The politically optimal regulatory instrument may then not correspond to the efficient instrument.
